He has successfully overcome all obstacles as they have arisen, and has substantially lessened the cost of the building by enlisting the interest of many American manufacturers who have supplied material. No one else is so well prepared to speak about the building, and at my request he has prepared the following account, which he permits the committee to make a part of this report...

...enterprise in inviting Prof. Adler to lecture here, and to that eminent moralist for his acceptance of the task. To all those who had the good fortune of listening to him last night, the effect of his earnest and vivid moralizing will be lasting and beneficial. We trust that we have not heard Prof. Adler for the last time and that other men of his stamp may be induced to visit the University and root in it thoughts and sentiments akin to those which he so indelibly impressed upon our minds...
